I was wondering why the price pumped, then I saw the news: AaveLabs officially announced they will explore sharing part of the revenue generated outside the protocol with AAVE token holders. This is a major fundamental bullish signal. AAVE generated about $809 million in fee revenue in 2025, ranking among the top DeFi protocols. Asset management firm Bitwise recently filed 11 cryptocurrency ETF applications, including AAVE, targeting the year 2026, boosting expectations for institutional entry. HODL spot.
